Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Resources

California’s 2013-14 Budget Act included landmark legislation that greatly simplifies the state’s school finance system. The changes introduced by the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) represent a major shift in how California funds Local Educational Agencies (LEAs). For nearly 40 years, California has relied on a system that included general purpose funding (known as revenue limits) and more than 50 tightly defined categorical programs to provide state funding to LEAs.Under LCFF, California funds school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education equally per student with adjustments based on grade levels and demographic characteristics. LCFF replaces complexity in favor of equity, transparency, and performance.

The district-wide survey to get feedback on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) draft closed on May 27. Nearly 2,000 parents, staff, students and community members participated in the survey which was offered in English plus the next five district threshold languages.

While the survey tool allowed staff and Public Education Volunteers (PEVs) to review the data in real time, the aggregated final results are found below.

As per education code, the LCAP Parent Advisory Committee and the district’s English learner parent advisory committee (DELAC) reviewed the Draft 2015-16 LCAP and have provided comments on the draft.

The superintendent of the school district must respond, in writing, to comments received from these parent advisory committee(s). The superintendent’s response to both committee’s comments is linked below.
